Have you ever thought about using gs:destroy?
gs is a binding to Tk, which requires to explicitly destroy
objects. The gs graphics server does automatic garbage
collection of those non-Erlang objects, but it is done only when
the process "owning" (i.e. created) the objects terminates.
Cf. section 2.4 of the GS User's Guide.
If you want to destroy objects before the "owning" process
terminates, use gs:destroy/1.
Id = gs:create(image, ...),
gs:destroy(Id)
